Description

Blue-green translucent fluorite from the Vignola Mine in Italy. The crystal shows a stunning edge- length of 7.5 cm. The highly lustrous faces display a square texture with rare and beautiful tempering colors! Some small yellow quartz crystals are grown on one edge of the smaller fluorite. This gives the specimen a very interesting touch! No significant damage to report; the backside is also slightly crystallized or healed (no fresh fractures).
